Canadian Larysa Kuzmenko composed Fantasy on a Theme by Beethoven in celebration of his birthday. Haydn’s high-spirited and dramatic Cello Concerto No. 1 remained undiscovered for two centuries until its chance 1961 find at the Czech National Library.

Haydn Cello Concerto

Kleinhans Music Hall

It’s a special thrill when Yo-Yo Ma appears with your Calgary Phil! Don’t miss your chance to see the distinguished cellist perform one of the cherished works of the repertoire, interpreted with his inimitable flair, dignity, and eloquence. Music Director Rune Bergmann then conducts the Orchestra in music by his fellow countryman Edvard Grieg: beloved Grieg Selections from the composer’s Peer Gynt Suites filled with his signature melodic charm.
